I am making a middle easter lamb dish, and it calls for 2 tbsp preserved lemon peel. I have preserved lemons in my fridge. Is it as simple as cutting the peel off of these, or must I get preserved lemon peel on its own.
Thanks!
 
Welcome to DC, jfalcs22. You can use peel from the preserved lemons you already have. I always preserve the entire lemon but use just the peel. Scrape the pulp from the peel carefully. It's easy to rip the peel...or else I'm just heavy handed.
 
Most recipes using preserved lemons just use the peel part, though there are a few that use the flesh also.
